Steven Mosher

I heard this guy speak tonight. Never have I sat through a more smug, disingenuous mix of naive idealism and obsessive fear that "we" will change in the face of growing Chinese economic and military power.

His lecture was titled, "China, the Olympics, & the War Against People" [sic].

Early on he mentioned he had been a member, in the 1980s, of "Team B," which he pointed out, without a trace of irony, acted as a policy counterpoint to CIA analysts who consistently "under estimated the power of the Soviet Union."

He is part of the reason McCain must not be president. Remember that, oh Democratic voters, feeling what ever you're feeling tonight. Mosher left unsaid what it is we are supposed to do about China's "war on people," other than to boycott the opening of the Olympic Games. I think he and his ilk are less reticent about what they advise neoconophiles on Capitol Hill.
